How Often Should Fire Risk Assessments be Conducted?
4 April 2024
What is a fire risk assessment?
A fire risk assessment entails a thorough examination of your property, encompassing both its interior and exterior, aimed at pinpointing potential fire hazards and risks. The primary objective is to reduce or eradicate these risks to a level that is safe and compliant with legal standards, thus ensuring your property is equipped with appropriate fire protection measures.
If you hold a position as an employer, owner, landlord, occupier, or have authority over non-domestic premises, you are designated as the “Responsible Person” for fire safety. This encompasses roles such as facilities managers, building managers, managing agents, or risk assessors.
How often should fire risk assessments be conducted?
In the event of any substantial alterations to a premise, regardless of whether they heighten the fire risk, it is imperative to carry out a revised fire risk assessment. Such changes encompass not only structural modifications to the building but also alterations in activities, shifts in usage, or variations in the demographics or occupancy of the building.
